A lot has changed since the outbreak of COVID-19; one of them being that students have a changed attitude when it comes to their learning. This can be boiled down to our archaic education system and the “easier way” of teaching many of our teachers have adopted.
The educational system that we all know and many despise is a system that conditions our youth to become factory workers. This is an extremely outdated way to prepare students for the “real world” in an era where higher education is available more than ever. This system that has been in place for a century, creates apathy among our students. 

Apathy is the lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern.  This kind of thinking is plaguing our school, but it’s not the fault of the student in most cases. The overflow of work sent their way during the pandemic has caused a “learning overdose.” They have felt like they have been fed enough homework for a lifetime, leaving them in a state of Apathy. The only way for teachers to counteract this is to have a more creative outlook on teaching students that have been traumatized by Zoom. Mr. Grebel, a teacher that works outside the box, states,” The kid doesn’t get the purpose of the school, the control of the factory, or the mask.” With the current system in place, students tend to care less about their overplayed letters sent to us on a page every six weeks. This is a huge issue in the world because of how we tend to favor those who have gone through higher education for work. We put educated adults on a pedestal. With my generation not wanting to go in that direction, what does that say about society?
